HOW WE WILL HELP YOU NAVIGATE THE PROCESS
Divorce is ranked as one of life’s most stressful events for good reason. It can negatively impact both your emotional and physical health. When we represent you, we will work to relieve your stress by providing experienced legal support from beginning to end. We will explain the steps in the divorce process, your rights and responsibilities, and address your questions and concerns within 24-48 hours. We will listen carefully to you to understand what is most important for you to come away with in your divorce.
Our attorneys seek to navigate divorce with the least contention possible, which makes it easier on everyone. We want to get you and your children the best result as smoothly as we can. We will work to negotiate a fair settlement agreement between you and your spouse. Or, if agreeing on issues of divorce is not an option, we will be your strong advocate before the court. In either situation, our Mahwah divorce lawyers will have your back as we pursue an advantageous resolution.
DIVIDING ASSETS, PROPERTY, AND DEBTS IN DIVORCE
While dividing investments, properties, and other complex assets is a stressful and laborious process, ideally you and your spouse, with help of your attorneys, can come to agreement between yourselves. This allows you more control over the outcome and potentially a more satisfactory result for both of you.
Unfortunately, reaching a settlement is not always possible. Sometimes even when both sides are willing to come to the negotiating table, disagreement about who gets what or who pays for what cannot be overcome, or spouses feel so much acrimony toward each other that working toward compromise is an impossibility.
In these cases, a judge will consider the equitable distribution criteria under N.J.S.A 2A:34-23.1 to divide assets and debts. Equitable distribution is not a 50/50 split. Rather, under this concept, property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally.
Our lawyers are highly experienced at the negotiating table and in the courtroom. We will fight forcefully for your interests in either circumstance.
MAHWAH DIVORCE ATTORNEY ANSWERS FAQS
Divorce is complex, and you probably have many well-founded concerns about the process and your rights. Here we address a few of the most common questions we get.
I expect to pay alimony—how are payment amounts determined?
There is no simple calculation method in New Jersey for determining alimony payment amounts. The court will consider a variety of in-depth factors specific to your financial situation and that of your soon-to-be-ex spouse. Our divorce lawyers will seek to limit your exposure to paying too much.
Will the court favor my wife in financial decisions?
New Jersey law does not favor either spouse in divorce decisions, including those involving financial issues. But as experienced men’s rights divorce lawyers, we know that sometimes men feel as if they are not getting a fair shake. And there are times when it may be true that old-fashioned societal notions may influence decisions. We will advocate vigorously for your legal rights if any bias is evident.
How long will my divorce take?
Every divorce is different when it comes to how long it takes. In general, when couples have complex assets that must be valued and divided, it takes longer. When couples cannot agree on issues of divorce, it takes longer. Once we understand your circumstances, we will pursue a resolution to your divorce in as timely a way as possible for your needs and goals.
Our divorce attorneys serving Mahwah will provide answers specific to your situation when we speak with you.
